Bill Henrichs Helping more people meet jesus by keeping missionaries Thriving in the Harvest

Across the U.S. and around the world, there is a deep hunger for meaning. On campuses and in communities everywhere, people are more spiritually open than they’ve been in years—hungry for truth, hope, and something solid to stand on.

Yet even as this openness grows, the missionaries and ministry workers who carry the gospel into these spaces are struggling.

Many are exhausted, discouraged, or stretched far beyond what they were ever prepared for.

This is why Jesus’ words in Matthew 9 feel so urgent today: “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.”

The harvest is ready—but many of the workers are hurting.

When a missionary flourishes, students hear the gospel. Marriages are strengthened. Families are discipled. Leaders rise. Ministries multiply.

When a missionary burns out, the Harvest is at stake.

I believe the most strategic work I can do is caring for, equipping, and developing the people God has already placed in the harvest.

I serve with Cru’s national leadership development team, where my role is simple: help keep the workers in the harvest.

My teams do this by coming alongside staff to strengthen:

spiritual and emotional health
leadership development
calling and clarity
team culture and support
long-term sustainability in ministry

The Bottomline

The more missionaries who stay healthy and thriving, the fuller Heaven becomes because the Harvest is reached.

What to Expect in Our Conversation

Our upcoming conversation will simply be a chance to:

share what God is doing in and through Cru
talk about the ministry I lead
hear your story
explore whether partnering together is something God might invite you to do

My hope is that you leave encouraged by what God is doing in the US and around the world, and know how you might be able to be a part.

April and Bill live in Cincinnati with our three kids, William, Sam and Macy. We love Jesus, we love people, and we count it a joy to be part of what God is doing to make Heaven more full.
